Its impossible to overlook, the people of Freiburg are cyclists. There are apparently more bicycles than residents in the city.

Housewives and househusbands with vegetables in their cycle baskets, mud splattered mountain bikers returning from the Schauinsland, or groups of students cycling to their next lecture.

For many visitors to the city the masses of bicycles parked around the University and the historic town centre are a typical memory of Freiburg which they take away with them.

EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg can be accessed from both France and Switzerland. Visitors from Germany generally access the airport via France.

Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg is the only airport in the world operated jointly by two countries, France and Switzerland.
